      These could be the reasons for the panic-buy:


      8. They believe it's better to stock up in case they themselves are put on LOA out of the blue, after unfortunately coming into contact with a confirmed case in the coming weeks.
      Yes, this point #8 is valid,
      because once someone unfortunate in the household hit \"virus\" jackpot, infected


      i) hospital will send patient into medical isolation ward rightaway,

      ii) those family members inside the household, also will be scutinized one by one in detail,
      because they live in the same house as the infected patient, hence no more time to go out buy grocery.
      That's why people panic, start stocking up grocery, start planning emergency situation arise where they cannot go out of the house anymore, family get \"lockdown\", cannot go out, how they going to eat ?

      if anyone in the family get infected, the whole household will also be impacted

      eg

      if a primary school student gets infected

      both parents cannot go to work, will need to enter LOA as well, means cannot go out
      while Hospital ambulance sent the student (child) into isolation ward

      see, is not just the child alone, but parents also impacted, inconvenienced

        Scare of Lockdown lah, scared of LOA meh? We all know LOA existed but there was no panic buying earlier until yesterday afternoon.

        According to MOH, those on LOA, are allowed to go NTUC shopping for groceries !!!

          We just replenished PIL’s masks with ano 10 fr UNITY Pharmacy. No shortage. Just controlled.


          The staff issue those in queue with Q numbers saying might hv to wait till 7pm & not to gather around. Shortly within half hour, each individual with Q number got their supply of 10 pcs for $3.50. No profiteering! :imcool: each person entitled only to 10 produce I/C

              There’s no glut at Clementi NTUC or UNITY Pharmacy. I thank all the NTUC Staff whenever I spot them working hard & fast to replenish stocks.


              No need to embrace imported fears to rush for masks, food or sanitizers

                I don’t want wash toilet ones or shower foam leh. I want Dettol brand HAND Sanitizer. It is not possible to wash hands all the times when we are outside.
